The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 53 WEST VIEW sales from February 2010 and November 2014 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the February 2010 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
53 WEST VIEW might now be worth an estimated £540,110.
This is based on house price inflation of 48%, between November 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Hertfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 48% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 WEST VIEW of £365,000 on 10th November 2014. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £540,110 over the eleven years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
